Apria keeps telling me I need some sort of approval from my doctor to order CPAP supplies which will be paid for through Medicare and Medicaid. I've done a face to face with my doctor in an attempt to resolve the issue. It's been over a month and I still don't have my supplies. Apria sucks.

Apria Healthcare is the most difficult frustrating company to work with. They are impossible to get a hold of, when you leave a message, they don't call back. Also, they keep charging you a monthly fee whether you are able to use the sleep apnea machine or not. I just want to warn everyone looking at using Apria, that you might be in for lots of headaches on top of your sleep issues.

My mom has been on hospice and assisted care for a little over a year. Apria cannot seem to keep consistent records nor a reliable delivery schedule. When she was improved from Hospice care and we asked for the portable oxygen tank and hospital bed to be removed from the home, the driver also took the Innogen concentrator which she still needed. Not thinking it was a big deal, we called to re-order it, and they said they had a waiting list. Then once we got thru that, they kept calling (overseas call staff usually) to schedule delivery - which didn't happen - over and over and over. Today, she was released from the hospital with a recommendation of a standard walker.
I confirmed everything with the overseas virtual assistant who had her assisted care address. Then a few hours later I get a call from a man at the Sacramento Apria wanting to deliver the walker to her former home. When I politely expressed my frustration, he disconnected. Either they simply have very poor processes in place and don't pay their staff enough to tolerate simply criticism for the inept business practices, or they simply don't care. You guys can go pound sand. I'll buy a walker before I ever call you for anything again. Good luck.

Order medical supplies. Was told that I would receive it on a date that was fine. The day it should have been delivered. I received a call from Apria and now was told I would receive the medical supplies 4 day later. Wow. Could have got it online for the same price in 2 days. Never again!

Regret not reading reviews before getting Resmed 10 CPAP machine from Apria Healthcare. Was charged 452 billed as supplies (Nasal mask and nasal pillows). Then was told to pay 84.31 for 10 months. Why is this company not investigated for unprofessional and fraudulent billing? Didn't have prior information that I will have to pay almost 1300 for a machine that you can get online for 500. Had no option but to return the machine after paying them 610.

Compared to other reviews mine is less egregious but worth posting. I received an email that I was owed a refund and began following the steps. On one page I couldn't click on a box in order to go forward. I tried several times before calling for help. Twice I got a message saying I was unauthorized to attempt this! What?? After being on hold for approx 40 minutes the lady said she'd have to transfer me, I waited another 5-10 minutes and the next one said could do nothing about that. She didn't offer help from another department, didn't have a pleasant tone and said I should wait for the refund by mail. I suggested the site should explain what she just said but by her tone she brushed me off. Finally, the site doesn't provide a feedback option, which they need, so I came here for that. Do they know what the operators sound like?

What a terrible company to deal with. We ordered a new cpap machine for myself. Took a long time to be shipped then in the next six weeks we received three invoices, all different amounts from ranging from $400 to $700. Called their billing center. You end up in the Philippines. Totally clueless besides poor English to understand them, we got nowhere, then contacted our health insurance company blue cross as they should cover 95 percent of the cost, was told have not received any claim put in by Apria Health and was informed that they will double bill the insurance and myself as on their invoice it does not show what was paid by the insurance company. Have informed my sleep doctor please get me another company. These people are crooks.

Prior to accepting my CPAP machine, I was told by Apria that my insurance would cover the cost 100%. In fact it surprised me that they were so definitive given the disclaimer you typically get for insurance coverage. My first machine was used and smelled like smoke. At my follow-up doctor's visit, they were furious to learn of this and contacted Apria. I then had to schedule a time to swap out the machine, a major inconvenience. Several months later I received noticed from Apria that I had a past due balance.
After several requests for an invoice (I hadn't received one despite receiving many marketing mailers from them to reorder supplies), I finally got one with no explanation. The local office then told me that it was for swapping out my machine and I should not have been billed. Thankfully I saved their voicemail (in addition to text messages requesting an invoice and being told the erroneous balance was fixed). Several months later I received a letter from a collection agency!
I emailed the same folks at Apria that I'd dealt with before and they never responded. After filing a complaint and sending a "drop dead" letter to the collection agency, Apria responded and told me that my insurance company was the problem and that the insurance company claimed they had been trying to reach me for months. I called my insurance company and you guessed it - that was not true. A couple of weeks later I received another - much higher - invoice from the same time period, now 10 months from when the whole mess started. Avoid this company at all costs. Their billing is a disaster and their customer service is non-existent (1 local employee being the exception in my experience).

As a Nursing Case Manager, I HIGHLY discourage APRIA as a medical equipment provider. They do not communicate, they put a caller on hold for a prolonged amount of time (20-30mins), as they do not follow up with their clients. Their supervisors have no sense of urgency. I've been the runaround for a week that led to nowhere and nothing.

Apria was hard to deal with at first, no locations to try different styles locally, mailing different masks to try on separately instead of a couple designs to test. They make you sign a contract that allows them to stop for multiple reasons. they make you think you are paying more per month to purchase the machine and then Boom, randomly come up with a reason to cancel the contract and start billing you monthly to lease the equipment. They said that even though I paid for 9/10 months of the contract, my insurance company changed names, so I couldn't pay the difference and own the machine. Have to start from Scratch. If you're looking for healthcare equipment, LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!

To start with they lost my order. Had to go back to my doctor to resubmit my order 2 more times. Then had to call them several more times. It took over 6 months to get my machine. After I got my machine I was pretty much on my own. I ordered several different masks. Nose and larger face masks. None of these would work as I have a delved septum and a large mustache. They were no help finding something that would work. So I just quit using the machine. And now that Medicare has paid for the machine and haven't I heard a word from them in over 8 months now they started charging me a $9.02 rental charge per month after the first of 2024. Customer service was very rude. They kept saying that they would turn it over to collections. Very poor company to deal with. I would tell anyone dealing with Apria run as fast as you can the other way.

I stopped using my machine due to medical condition. I have not used machine since late 2022. While checking my accounts I discovered that I was sent to collections for under $40 and was never notified of such action by email, phone, or mail. My account also had balance of just under $300 for supplies my insurance company rightfully denied. Apria claim they sent supplies even after denial in 06/23. I never received such supplies and Apria could not sent me anything that supplies were delivered. After spending hours on the phone speaking to different people I was told they would call back once they got reimbursement cleared through supervisor. I have yet to receive call back. They have not resolved any of my issues. Do not do business with this company.

I was sold the machine for $344. I asked very specifically if there was a rental agreement because I did not want to rent anything, only pay in full. They reassured me that I had paid in full but I have continuously got a rental bill since paying the full price. The customer service is terrible and barely speaking English.

Updated on 3/9/2024: I thought I would give Apria one more chance. Well was not surprised, they did not deliver. Place order 2 weeks ago, called yesterday to check on order, again I had a confirmation of my order, they claim I had no order. This time the lady said that their website ordering does not work. Ask why I was not told this the previous 5 times I spoke with customer service, could not give an answer. I would never use Apria Healthcare.
Original review: Ordered products on 3 different occasions. Each time I never received the products. Each time I had to call to find out the status of my order. Each order was place via Apria website. Received email confirmation each time as well as I can see the order in my profile. First 2 times Apria claims they never received the orders, even after I forward the confirmation email, they still denied any order was submitted. Spoke with 5 different individuals, got 5 different answers. The local Apria, in Lenexa, Kansas was no different in their response. They were going to call back, never happened. Still 2 months later, still don't have supplies. Cannot use machine due to mask ripped. I WILL NEVER USE APRIA AGAIN. CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE CPAP PROVIDER.

Apria has been a disaster with overbilling me for their CPAP machine. What ended up was to be $100 turned into over $400. I still decided to pay that amount because I really needed to improve my sleep and settled with their billing department on the final costs of the unit. After they guaranteed me there were no additional costs and I had paid everything, they turned around and kept billing me more per month. Now they apparently have sent the bills to a collection agency that is calling me out of the blue. Do not do business with this organization, it is ran horribly and on par with telemarket scams. They also mishandled a patient information breach a while back and got in trouble for it. They do not seem very customer oriented at all and are just looking to soak people for money.

Repeated calls to company about face mask not working with equipment, reps kept transferring me to the next person or promising callbacks, no specific timeframe given! I asked for address of office which I wasn’t given. Repeated calls to Kaiser Permanente to get problem solved. Finally sent to office an hour away. Mgr fixed the problem. Took over a month to get it fixed. Apria wanted paid for their rental even though it was their fault it wouldn’t work and I couldn’t use. I complained numerous times about this to no avail! Finally I said enough! I told Apria rep to have machine picked up and I completely settled the bill and told them I was finished!!!!
I set up pickup appt, they gave me a date and said I had to be home 8am to 8pm. They never showed! I called to complain! They had set a new pickup date and didn’t tell me about it and I was out of state that week! Thankfully they sent a reminder and I was able to call and again set up an appointment another no show, stay home 8am to 8pm deal! Finally called district mgr! They picked up finally! Now they say I owe them money! Don’t trust them! They tell you they don’t keep records of their calls. When you complain, there isn’t enough space or time to be specific, this has gone on for a year now, do your homework before you use this company!

My doctor set me up to get a Cpap. After 2 months I started getting bills saying it was denied by my insurance company. I called my Insurance. They state it was billed with an incorrect code and that is why it was denied. I was told they instructed Apria to resubmit. This went on for 4 months until the bill reached about $450. I would call then get directed back to my insurance who stated they were waiting to hear back from Apria with the corrected billing. Finally was told that is is against the contract with my insurance for Apria to bill me for this. The people at Apria are so rude and not helpful at all. I said, "Come get the machine - I don't want it if it is costing me $100/month." They said I needed to go to the doctor and have the doctor write a new prescription for them to pick it up. I said, "Absolutely NOT. Come get it" - they said I needed to sign an AMA waiver. ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH.

I really wish there was a way to give "0" stars because that's what this rating would be. The local branch in Orlando has been quite rude but the whole company wouldn't be able to boil water. While I have had problems in the past (I don't know why my insurance company still deals with them, I don't really have much of a choice). This time they tried to deliver my walker to the wrong address and it's still not resolved. I am beyond frustrated at this point. IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE - DO NOT CHOOSE APRIA!!!!

The worst service ever. I am in the process of receiving a new sleep machine from them, it has been going on since June last year as my machine is broken and I cannot sleep. Every time I speak to them there is a new person who does not know anything, transfers to somebody else who does not respond and does not return my calls. They keep requesting additional information from my doctor and when the doctor sends to them what they need, they first say it's ok and in a week or two say no, we need something more, w/o being aware that they have it. And so it goes for almost a year, nobody knowing anything and taking responsibility for anything. I am going to another company and advise you to avoid them as plague.

I have been working with Apria for years, they seem to be the only company I can find in the area. I ordered CPAP supplies online and they did not fill my order until I had to call and ask why. I just never heard from them, so I called. My doctor also sent orders for the supplies. Once I received them, they seemed very poor quality, more like cheap junk. Everything was cheap except the cost, after insurance, I was charged $300 for about $1 worth of plastic. If you can find another company, stay away from Apria.

Updated on 07/22/2024: Company reached out directly. Claimed to have me ALLLLLL set up on automatic ordering in April. Called in late June to confirm. Of course no record whatsoever of any automatic order. I guess I'll just order manually. I give up.
Original Review: 1. Apria's website requires at least 2 separate accounts. Navigation is a nightmare. Imagine trying to use this if you're not hyper-aware of the Internet.
2. After 3 phone calls to customer service, I finally got set up on automatic supply shipments. Except that they decided that shipping 30 days of supplies every 90 days is an acceptable place to end up. Found this out today when I called to confirm when my next shipment would arrive. We'll see what happens this time around. The customer service agent literally told me that I might not qualify for 90 days worth of supplies, and they could only ship supplies every 90 days. Insurance company says that that's not a thing and the provider can ship at will.
3. Communication. My indication that something is wrong is that supplies don't show up.

By far the worst customer service ever, I was on hold for a long time while they're passing me off to different department.

I started receiving threatening messages from Apria saying I had a past due balance and I risked being put into collection. These continued for a few more days and then I received my FIRST bill from Apria. I paid it the very next day and I called them to tell them that, and to complain about the threatening phone messages. The Apria representative said it was done by an automated system and they could not change it. It has been four days since that call and today I received a SECOND threatening bill. I have been dealing with Apria on and off for years and this has happened before. I am with Kaiser which only uses Apria, but I feel like starting a campaign to give Kaiser patients an alternate choice.

I've been using Apria for my cpap supplies for 1 1/2 years. No problems with shipping supplies to my home address. However, I spend 4 months living in a different state and this has become an unbelievable problem with supplies. In Jan 2023 I ordered 3 months of supplies, and told the order dept about my new address. They ignored that and sent them to my home address. This Jan 2024 when I went to order supplies I reminded the person both at the beginning and end of our conversation that the supplies needed to go to my winter address. When the supplies didn't arrive (and the tracking number sent was incorrect) I called (1/19/24) only to find out that once again they had been shipped to the wrong address. I was told they would be shipped.
Today (1/26/24) I called and spoke to a supervisor who informed me that despite their error, they were penalizing me by not sending my supplies until they could retrieve them from the wrong address. REALLY??? I can't use my cpap (and haven't in a week) because the mask won't keep a seal. My health is at risk, I'm sleeping separate from my spouse because of the snoring and not sleeping well. THIS IS NOT OK.

Worst experience ever. They failed to confirm the delivery address which resulted in the equipment being routed to the wrong place and the order being delayed by hours. 10 hours. (They had just delieved something a week early to the correct address.) Once the address was correct they only delivered a part of the order. The driver lied to dispatch and said he was at the facility delivering the order (but he was there an hour earlier). When dispatch contacted the driver he failed to respond. Driver should be fired - he also failed to read the delivery notes!

TLDR: Their prices are a little better / they are more transparent than other companies I dealt with. However, they call incessantly, have different websites (requiring different accounts) for everything, and make you fill out the same info 3+ times. Pros: They were upfront about pricing and what was included in my original order, but I did have to ask for it. They were cheaper than another company who was trying to charge me $1500 for a $900 CPAP because it was what my insurance was willing pay, but I would have ended up way overpaying on my coinsurance. The math wasn't mathing so I ended up with Apria, which charged a fairer price. Cons: THEY. ARE. SO. ANNOYING. They call me like once a week, always while I am at work. They always leave a voicemail saying they are "checking on their patient". If I need help, I'll ask for it. Stop calling me. I even deleted my phone number from my account to get them to stop.
Additionally, they have like different websites for everything. I have had to make 3 separate accounts with them because they have a one website for statements, another for reordering supplies, another for ordering supplies if you haven't bought from them before... Makes me wonder how many more are out there I don't even know about. It's so disorganized and just plain stupid. Plus you have to fill out your insurance/doctor/address information for every single one. Unsurprisingly though, they have no problem transferring your billing info, because let's be real that is the only thing that matters to any company to begin with. Instead of having one website or making the data transferrable they would rather the burden fall on their customers.

Worst service, worst customer service, worst company to deal with.... Had my CPAP machine Resmed 11 almost caught on fire at night while I was using it.. The water chamber had sign of burnt and the bottom was extremely hot, the water had completely evaporated and the smoke got into my tubing and my mask and almost suffocated me.

Regretfully I have been dealing with Apria for a few years. You can never reach someone at their customer service number. You sit on hold for 15-20 minutes only to finally hear they will call you back if you leave your information. I have now attempted that 2 times with no return call. I’ve left another message this morning. Secondly I received their letter about a data breach a few months ago. The bizarre part is that I got TWO letters to my address with 2 different names. Clearly they have data issues and when I called them back in November they acted like it was no big deal. I told them I wanted someone to call me back since it seemed that my info was stolen (otherwise why would they have 2 names at my address). No one ever returned my call. They have sent me so many supplies over the last few years I won’t need anything for a while and that’s why I’m calling, to stop the next delivery. I’m not confident they will comply. How the government isn’t investigating them for fraud is beyond me.

Purchased and paid for some supplies for my Cpap in Dec when I ordered them. Now receive a bill for $16. Statements just say "supplies"-that could mean anything. So I called for clarification. Billing rep says it's for strap and filters. Ok for strap, but filters I paid for. You can see on the statement, and she verified, that the $6.94 is for filters. On their statement you can see the bill for $6.94 and next entry is the payment $6.94. She verified I received one order of filters. Now, I didn't yell or carry on. I just wanted it fixed. It's only $6.94. She got frustrated with me and put me on hold and never returned. I waited 30 min. My gripe is they could not explain the charge, got frustrated with me and basically hung up on me. Poor customer service!

Shortly after I wrote this review I contacted Apria’s corporate patient satisfaction via email. A few days later I received a call from Jen at Apria who said they had received the needed documentation from my doctor's office. She reviewed my order, answered questions and told me she would send my order with expedited shipping. I received the order a few days later. I was satisfied with their response to my complaint.

About 2 months ago I ordered CPap supplies from Apria. I was told they would be delivered in 7 to 10 days. After a couple of weeks went by with no delivery I called Apria and was told that they did not process my order because they had not received notes they had requested from my doctor’s office. I asked why no one had contacted me from Apria and they said they had left a message (they did not).
I then called my doctor’s office and the respiratory therapist said she would order the equipment for me. 3 weeks later I called Apria again when I had not received the equipment. I spoke with someone named Betsey who said she was not allowed to tell me her last name. She said she saw in their records that they had received the required notes from the doctor’s office but now they needed “something else”. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said the supervisor named Michelle (again no last name) was too busy to talk to me but would call me back. That was a few hours ago and no call back so far. I would advise anyone needing CPAP supplies not to use this company because they are unreliable and their customer service is horrible.

I am 36 weeks pregnant. My OBGYN sent an order through my insurance for a breast pump to Apria when I was 22 weeks pregnant. Apria continuously refused to supply the breast pump for multiple inconsistent reasons despite multiple tries between myself and my doctor, and after many hours on the phone and on hold, over the course of months. I would not have wasted this much time had they not shared such confusing and inconsistent information that ultimately turned out to be false.
Apria representatives first said that I was not allowed to order the breast pump without my doctor sending more records. My doctor sent more records. They then refused again asking for even more records which my doctor again sent. My doctor even called them herself to try to resolve the issue. Apria again refused to send a breast pump because I was not expected to have a premature birth. I confirmed with my doctor, my insurance, and other moms that this is NOT a reason to refuse a breast pump. They then said that I needed to wait until I was within 30 days of my delivery date.
I called at that point and they said that I needed to have tried and failed a manual breast pump. I pushed back saying that this did not make sense because I had not yet delivered and there was no way for me to try and fail a manual breast pump. They then said they would not send a breast pump until AFTER I deliver the baby. I have confirmed that no other DME company does this.
It seems that Apria does everything in its power to tell inconsistent and nonsensical excuses to pregnant mothers so as to look after their own pocket books. Apria should NOT advertise itself as a company that supplies breast pumps to expecting mothers. Apria refuses to support expecting mothers, they refuse to tell consistent information to expecting mothers, they make it as difficult as possible for expecting mothers to get the supplies that they need, and ultimately, they refuse to supply breast pumps as they falsely advertise.

I had my CPAP machine for just two months. I ordered some supplies that I never received. Suddenly, out of the blue they came to pick up my unit without any notification nor explanation. When I called to understand why, they said that because I changed insurance which I did but notified them. After not hearing back from them, I called them again, and they now tell me they need a new prescription to proceed with the new insurance (!). In the meantime, they forced me to $300 for no reason and just sent a letter saying that I had a unit to return asap. A total mess. Wait times are Uber long. There are 4 different numbers to contact customer service. No online option. This company is stuck in the 90s.

Apria is one of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with. I would not recommend them to anybody. If I could give zero Stars I would... They constantly mess up my order and most of the time they send me parts that I do not need or ask for... Customer service gives me the runaround and my problem is never solved. I am leaving them for another supplier. Do yourself a favor and don't deal with them.

First, I was shipped a CPAP without ever agreeing to it. The machine was delivered on a day I happened to be home which is good because in my neighborhood it would have been stolen. Then they wanted me to sign a blank financial agreement. When I called to find out what the payments would be they first told me it was no charge to me since I met my max out of pocket with my insurance. That'd be nice but next month is January and it was supposed to be a rental for 6 months before owning it. Mind you they had also already charged my insurance $1800! I had to press them to actually get a monthly price in which they finally told me what it would be. They wanted to charge me DOUBLE what a different company would have charged me! I told them I was wanting to return it and asked where to ship it. They said it had to be hand delivered or they couldn't verify it was returned. Not even if they signed for the delivery!
So I had to miss some work to drop it off at their inconveniently located place. When I got there I was told I would have to sign forms with them for dropping it off. The first form they wanted me to sign was the same blank financial agreement they wanted me to sign online!!! When I refused (especially since I was returning the box unopened) they told me they couldn't take it back without me signing this form! I had to handwrite on their form that I did NOT agree to them billing me or my insurance, the box was returned without being opened, and I was being forced to sign or they wouldn't let me return it. I made sure to get a copy of it! I would not recommend using this company EVER! Especially with them wanting signatures on blank financial agreements!

Have had Apria Healthcare for CPAP supplies for 2 years. Tried for the first 6 months to place a order and they wouldn't ship because they were out of stock of one thing and wouldn't send partial order. In 2 years I've managed to place 2 orders, both times my copay after insurance coverage was more than me just ordering the same supplies from Amazon. On several items not only was Amazon cheaper but were the name brand instead of a no name off brand that fell apart within a couple weeks. My copay on headgear thru Apria was $25 and I received off brand headgear that stretched out and velcro almost immediately failed on. Real Amara view headgear on Amazon $17 delivered in 2 days without dealing with Apria's horrible ordering and service.

On 11/21/2023 I pick up my CPAP machine and full face mask. I then end up having to order a different mask on 11/28/2023 and they shipped it out. Customer service says there's no way to track it once it leaves the shipping department. I've called them several times to find out when will I get it they said I'll get it when it's delivered but today on 12/7/2023 they said I could go to my local Apria and see the respiratory therapist and get fitted when a bigger mask until I receive the one I ordered which is a small one.

I tried to reorder supplies for my CPAP six months ago and was told that I needed to see my doctor again before they could get me my supplies. It took 3 months to see my doctor, but I did and had them send in the request for new supplies. This is when the nightmare started. Every week, I get a voicemail telling me that they needed addition paperwork. I call my doctor office and tell them what they need. The nurse promised me that they faxed it to Apria. I place my order again and the Representative promised me they have everything and will ship out my order. We have been in this loop for three months, every week. I just now ordered and paid cash for my supplies. I just cannot wait anymore, I need to sleep at night.

I needed replacement tubing for my CPAP machine and it was kind of an emergency, since mine got damaged. I went to their website and opened a chat dialog to see about getting some supplies from my local "Retail" location. The "Customer Service" agent, "Trisha" said that wasn't possible as they don't carry any inventory. When I asked her what I was supposed to do as I needed the replacement quickly, her response was to tell me to go get it somewhere else. When I expressed my disappointment in that answer, she shut down the session.
I tried calling the local "Retail" location, but it put me through to their main call center, which consists of several jumps through automated menus and at least two transfers before I finally got to a selection for automated supply ordering. I went through more menu selections and, when I entered my phone number, I was told it wasn't recognized. Twice. I couldn't back out so I had to start over from the beginning and, skipping the "automated" part, got to someone who also told me that the "Retail" locations were just for setting up equipment and that she could set up my resupply order and it would be here in 7-10 days. She seemed unconcerned with my fairly immediate need. She confirmed my information which included my phone number (You know, the phone number the system failed to recognize. Twice.).
I'll see if anyone in town carries the tubing I need and, if not, I guess I'll be digging out my old machine until my resupply gets here in a week or so. I can certainly see why, everywhere you look, Apria has abysmal ratings. Their customer service is far from it and, being paired with Kaiser Permanente, as it is in my case, makes things even worse. I'm glad I'm switching back to Premera, where I'll, hopefully, get set up with a real medical supply company that has real medical supplies, instead of this mail-order garbage company.

I stupidly chose Apria in September 2022 for CPAP equipment and supplies. My first encounter through today, has been the worst experience and if I could give this company worst than a 1 rating, they would deserve it. There are so many things that has caused me grief you would not believe it, but they do include No support of any kind, calling me several times at work telling me my insurance company is not in-network, which anyone would know Priority Health is, which made me sit on the phone while at work a ridiculous amount of time and numerous times trying to fix this and then me having to call Priority Health in which I was told every time that Apria's system shows they are no in-network for some reason but it is not true.
I would receive random supplies of equipment in which I was not on the auto-order system. In January and February of 2023, they billed my portion to my credit card 3 times for each month. When I disputed it, they got mad and would just send me bills. I returned the equipment at the end of March to the local Branch in my city that I live in and just received another bill (this month) for my portion telling me that it was not paid in March. I mean, just to be rid of them, I went ahead and already paid the portions that I originally disputed (because of their constant lies and harassment) and now there is still one more left. I tried to get the local office involved and thought because of this horrendous treatment, they would call it good and just write off this last amount (which is an over billing), but NO, I was just told once I paid it, my account would be up to date.
I swore up and down I would not pay it and go to my grave not paying it, but when they have you and your credit at gunpoint, we have very little to fight back against. There is something seriously wrong when a company like this is not held accountable. I have read many reviews on this site and we all have similar stories. It's very sick to me that the reason we have dealt with them is due to a medical issue in which they are contributing to it. My doctor wants me to be on CPAP to protect my heart, but Apria has caused me serious stress and that is affecting my heart.

Apria is the absolute worst healthcare provider out there. They should be investigated for fraud and dishonest customer practices. To be specific, I was connected to Apria as the provider of my CPAP equipment, which needs to be periodically replaced. All it is plastic tubes, tiny filters, plastic nose coverings, etc. If you go to the local pharmacy, none of the equipment is very expensive, but in theory Apria makes the process of using CPAP easier by sending you the equipment to your home and in appropriate intervals in accordance with normal usage. However, what actually happens is something quite sinister.
Apria actually charges 5-10x what the equipment actually charges, and attempts to get whatever it can out of your insurance. At first, you will likely not notice that they are billing hundreds of dollars per month for things that cost very little. As long as the insurance pays some % of the cost, things are fine. However, if your insurer ever declines to pay Apria, they will come after you in dogged fashion for the full amount of a grossly inflated bill. They will, without blinking, as you to pay hundreds of dollars for equipment that you could have gotten for $25-50.
I'm currently being harassed for $350 related to one month of equipment sent to me that was denied by my insurer because Apria mishandled the medical information or wouldn't work with my ENT doctors office to make sure they had what they needed to properly file a claim. The equipment they are chasing me for costs less than $50 in at CVS. This is unscrupulous on multiple levels. First, they are inflating the prices of the products tremendously. Then they are jamming customers at the first opportunity with bills and threats.
They don't explain their protocols before it's too late, and they refuse to wait until a billing attempt is approved by your insurer before sending the equipment to you, trapping you in a collections scheme at ridiculous prices. It is designed to be a trap, and they will not work with you to make their protocols customer friendly. Their goal is to obligate you and then harass you. They aren't interested in avoiding the frustration by simply making sure the claim is approved before shipping. They are 100% in it for latching onto you. This company needs to be investigated.

Apria has provided me with CPAP equipment for almost 5 years. I have also had a 6-month experience in 2022 with an oxygen concentrator rental. Overall, each experience has been poor, although there have been a few good customer service people who individually were helpful. That part is hit or miss. My biggest complaint is dealing with the billing department. Billing staff appear reluctant to provide any information regarding pricing. Everyone in billing to whom I have spoken has a thick accent and they don't seem to listen to or understand me. It almost seems like there is a delay in the phone connection as if they are speaking from a distant country, so we often talk over each other due to the delay. I must ask the same question many times and even then, I am lucky to get an answer. The conversation has gotten terse on both sides because of the frustration of being unable to understand each other. It is just awful.
Another frustration is that Apria had system breaches which, according to the letter I received, they became aware of 9/1/2021. Additionally, the same letter indicates they had additional breaches in 2019. The letter states, "An unauthorized third party accessed systems which contained personal information from April 5, 2019 to May 7, 2019 and from August 27, 2021 to October 10, 2021." While I do understand that these unfortunate events occur, my biggest complaint is that I was not notified of the latest Apria breach until I received a letter on June 6, 2023, ALMOST TWO YEARS after they became aware of the incident. Who knows when they became aware of the 2019 incident, that was over FOUR years prior to the letter being sent.
In comparison, I recently learned from another company that I do business with had a similar event occur, and their notification took only a couple of MONTHS. Apria can do better, especially with HIPAA information. The Department of Health and Human Services website says companies must inform customers of breaches within 60 days!!!
Another issue with Apria occurred today. I got a repeat voicemail from the Sleep Management Department, "checking on our patient' asking me to call 800-436-5657. I called the number and was taken to a computerized system asking questions about me. This was the second time I have tried to call this number and I rarely get through two questions because the computer can't understand me- and I speak American English with no accent. The computer finally gives up and tells me to call a real person at Apria. I called that number, and they have no record of the call.
Then I was told I need to talk to billing (oh no) because have the account hold due to the small amount I owe. Got transferred there and learned that apparently billing put a hold on my account because I owed under $3.50 since March. Then she tells me that they only send out bills for over $5. So, there is no way I would have even known about that outstanding bill. At that point, I then wondered if the 800-436-5657 is a scam call, since it didn't seem like a voicemail regarding billing at all, but I searched online and this number seems to be associated with Apria Sleep Management area (not billing).
In the past, I’ve had questions about cpap equipment that Apria says I need to speak to one of their Respiratory Therapists (RT) to get answers. They take my number and say the RT with call back within 48 hours (or so). There is no control over when they call, so I ALWAYS miss the first call because I am busy with something else at the time. They do not leave a way to call back and get in touch with someone, so the whole process must start again. Generally it takes 3 plus times of going through the entire process to get in touch with an RT. It seems like Apria could offer an appointment system or time window for call backs.
Overall, these examples show this company is siloed, disjointed and doing the wrong things to cut costs. The different areas seem completely disconnected, and it is very difficult to get to the right person. They are trying to cut costs with unscheduled callbacks, computer generated ‘healthcare’ and billing departments in lower paying countries. The problem is that the computers and the foreign billing folks don’t understand English. Unfortunately, I feel forced to continue working with Apria because both large insurance companies I have used since 2019 have Apria as a preferred provider.

The billing is so messed up that it affects my blood pressure!! I had a contract that after my supplemental Medicare insurance paid the initial deposit, I was supposed to pay 41.49 per month for 10 months. That is what was in the contract! All was going well for 2 payments and suddenly there was a charge for over $300. No explanation except that my insurance changed the initial deposit from Approved to Denied. This is **! In my research, I found that they actually re-submitted the exact same bill twice.
So of course, Medicare would deny the 2nd attempt to get more out of my supplemental insurance. And now, they've added more charges that just say CPAP on it. If I have a stroke because of this company's billing mess, I have instructed my children to sue them! I will be reporting them to the CA attorney general as well. Thanks for listening. I'm glad I found this resource and that I'm not the only one with billing problems. NOTE: The Apria office where I picked up my CPAP was amazing!! It's only the billing that's BAD!!!

For months I have been trying to get my billing issue fixed. Apria told me I needed to contact my insurance which I did and they instructed me to get a new authorization from Apria. They stated the reason why the bill hasn’t been paid because of a bad authorization. I spend hours on the phone with my insurance and Apria on the phone. I was told by Apria that a new auth would be sent and everything would be taken care of. Two days later I’m still getting text message about equipment pick up. I call Apria and they don’t know what’s going on they said to call my insurance again because a auth was sent. I called my insurance and they stated that they never received anything. Then today I speak with my insurance and they said Apria didn’t send a auth because I was not compliant. I been using my Machine and they only read my card one time.

This company is a scam boiler room operation that offshores all customer service to the Philippines where well intentioned workers have limited scripts in their effort to resolve issues. They not only scam the US patients but the offshore workers they employ. I received a CPAP machine that did not work in August '22 and tried to have it picked up in September '22. They continued to bill me without picking up the machine and then started aggressive collection efforts for the increasing balance. I had approximately 25 documented conversations with offshore collectors wherein I told them the machine does not work and needs to be picked up. Every single time, they told me they needed to transfer me to the department that handles pickups, I waited on hold for between 5-10 minutes and then the call disconnected, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
The phone number that one individual gave to call for pickups rings many times and then fails. Then in February '23 on a random day, I was out of town traveling and a Fedex guy showed up at my door to pick up the machine. Spoke with him through my Ring camera and arranged a day to come back the following week, which he did. Now I continue to get collection calls for the machine that never once worked and I cannot speak to ANYONE at Apria who isn't an offshore bill collector with zero ability to speak about this other than to say how sorry they are for my concerns. I don't understand how this company A) is still in business and B) has not been investigated and shut down by state attorneys general for abusing elderly patients. I will be filing complaints in Florida with our Office of Consumer Affairs and other government authorities that protect residents from this type of abuse.

Everything about dealing with this company has been a nightmare. I got my CPAP machine about 2 months ago (having to track it down - they shipped it to the wrong address) after a 4 month wait, and it didn't come with everything I needed (no mask, no hose.) It came equipped with a tank - as expected. I got another package a month later that had the hose and mask. Great. The box also included a spare tank that was not for my machine. I never ordered a spare tank, and even if I had, the one I got was useless to me. I called customer service to ask for an RMA and a call tag. They told me to donate it to my pulmonologist. OK, fine.
I got a statement the other day showing I owed them $156. Some of the charges were for 'Deductibles.' My agreement was to pay $23/month. I saw charges for $23, $45, $23 - billed in one month. Also 'CPAP Supplies.' No item description. I had never ordered any supplies. The one that caught my eye was 'CPAP humidifier' for $77. I also saw that they had charged my card and paid that invoice. What were they charging me for? The tank that came with my CPAP machine, or the spare tank that I neither ordered, needed, or could even use - the tank they'd told me to donate?
So yesterday I called the Billing Dept. They were completely clueless - couldn't tell me what I was being charged for, or why, only that they weren't going to credit my account for the spare tank because, "We bill separately for the tank." WHAT??!! They sent me to the Supplies Dept. I explained the situation to them and they sent me back to Billing, who sent me back to Supplies, who sent me to the local branch, who had no idea why I'd been sent to them. Back and forth, back and forth, with no one at Apria willing to understand that I had been billed for things I hadn't ordered, needed, or could even use.
I finally ended the conversation demanding that I get a credit for the tank. I have to bring it in to the local branch. Once they get it the Billing Dept. will (allegedly) issue a credit. I highly doubt it. If it comes to that I'll be filing a claim with my credit card company. This company is either engaging in fraudulent billing practices, or is completely incompetent. Look for your CPAP supplies elsewhere. I plan to have a chat with my doctor, to let her know not to write her patients' orders to Apria.

Called them again and left a message per their instructions, "If you called within business hours your call will be returned within two hours. If you called after business hours your call will be returned the next business day by noon". I was returning their call per the voicemail they left me…the one and only time they called me.
I called 5 times over 9 business days, excluding Veterans Day. The last one I pleaded for someone to call me back as my child is in pain and missing school. No call.

So all in all, this company received 9- 0 calls from myself, another party, and the surgeon’s office within 5 weeks.
We had to get a wound vac from another company which they sent within 48 hours of the prescription being sent over, so someone out there understands that if someone is in need of a wound vac, there is probably a pretty nasty wound open to the elements.

Apria's business plan is to rent customers CPAPS for some months and then convert to a purchase. You cannot buy a CPAP through insurance with Apria. They do not come out and state this, though. They blame this on the insurance company. In my case, my insurance does cover the outright purchase of a CPAP.

My doctor ordered a CPAP machine for me. A ResMed Airsense 11 (AS11) model. I was called by Apria customer service and we went over requirements. I was sent an agreement with each line item referencing my order for an AS11. I waited patiently for almost 3-months - no problem, I had been warned all CPAPs were in short supply. It arrived June 30. I opened the box to see that they had sent me an AS10 the older version of what had been ordered. I immediately called Apria and said I had been sent the wrong model.
After a very circuitous conversation, I was bumped up to a supervisor. Who proceeded to tell me the exact same thing - that I cannot return the item in favor of the one actually ordered. I said OK, I'll just return it period - cancel the order. To be told I could not do that either. I was not given a specific reason why this was so. The call ended, leaving me very frustrated. I reached out to my doctor to inquire as to what she had actually put on the referral. She had specified **AS11 preferable, please discuss with patient** - they did not discuss alternatives with me.
My doctor kindly reached out to their rep, who said I had called several times (a lie - implying I was a bother - I dialed their number and spoke to one person then a supervisor - all part of ONE call) and it had been explained to me that they could not swap out one model for another. NOT what I wanted - at this point, I just want to return the unused product to them and call it quits. So, today I made a second call.
I went around with one rep, who was too busy to listen to me (her child in the background was bothering her) and said she could transfer me to a supervisor, but they wouldn't help either. She was right - after another frustrating circuitous conversation, she said I might get help from corporate customer satisfaction - and gave me their number. What she actually gave me was the regular Apria phone number. Navigating to the customer satisfaction department it went directly to VM, but I have to have a name and extension number to leave a message - neither of which I have.
So, in summary, I have a signed agreement with Apria Healthcare for them to provide me an AS 11. They are unable to provide that equipment, and without any consultation with me, sent me an alternative - and now refuse to accept the alternative's return - and expect me to make payment of nearly $500 towards the equipment. I am not going to do so. I have the equipment still in its barely opened original packaging - happy to give it back to them - not going to pay for what I didn't order.

I call each month asking why the flux in amount. They tell me it's my deductible for machine rental. Yet, the amount keeps going up each month. December $72.72, January $80.37, February $138.??, March 153.??. WHY the flux?! If it is for machine usage only and not supplies, the amount should be consistent.
When I ask the question, the rep talks over me, doesn't listen, tells me to call my insurance. When I "calmy state", I'm getting frustrated. {click} They have hung up on me twice so far. I am now on hold for the third time. I called asking specifically for a manager. We shall see what they do. BTW, I told them in February, I wanted them to stop taking funds out of my account. I wanted to withdraw from autopay. They continue to pull the funds. I will likely have to turn off the card. This company is TERRIBLE to work with. Customer service is obnoxious.

Horrible. I give instructions do not ship my supplies without authorization from my PCP. This causes a burden on my part because I’m getting billed because my insurance rejects the claim no authorization was received. I have insurance coverage but since Apria does not get this authorization it takes me two months to resolved this issue in order for my insurance to pay the claim.

My mother in law passed on March 21, 2022. Shortly thereafter I began contacting Apria about the remaining eight oxygen tanks she didn't use. As of today, they have not picked up the tanks. They give me time windows that are not honored, then they make up excuses or simply make up stories that they went and no one was there. Very poor customer service.

The Apria Healthcare Billing System is archaic and complete rubbish. The majority of users typically use FSA Accounts or other systems for reimbursements and these all require detailed receipts. This company just sends you a useless statement without the details. Every single time I call in I was told I will have it in the mail within a week or so. Finally they caught up to the 21st century and can email you the information. Sadly I still have to ask for this information which should be easy to pull out and send to me without having to ask. Normal people see receipts from every other store they buy things from. This company is stuck back in the dark ages of billing. So sad they cannot hire a competent CFO.

In 2021 I had a ppo for Cpap and in Jan 2022 it changed to HPN. I called January 3 to let them know and they said OK. After three months later I got a notification last week that Apria does not take my insurance three months so now they asked that I sent back April 1 my CPAP machine it at the supplies. I immediately contacted my primary care doctor and he asked me to ask Apria if they could extend my breathing machine because now with my primary they have to start a new sleep study before getting a new machine which could be six weeks.
I called Apria, they serve beer $107 but I can’t afford that. What I’ve upset about is that it took three months for the stamp to tell me that they don’t accept HPS. Know I’m responsible so I’ll go without a breathing machine until the health plan of Nevada goes through the process schedule he has to sleep study decide if I need to see Pat etc. etc. Sucks, in the meantime Apria is the worst company ever and never do business with them again. Thanks for taking three months to tell me.

I received my referral for a wheelchair March 1st. I called Apria to check on the status and they did not receive it as of march 4th. It was resubmitted. Apria gave me so many excuses why they could not fill the order from needing an updated referral to show needing leg rests to weight change to never receiving SEVERAL faxes and still awaiting signed docs from doctor. Meanwhile my doctor's office is furious because they have signed and faxed several over and Apria was lying to me saying it was the dr office they were waiting on.
When I mentioned I was going to have someone drive me up to dr office to get p.w myself Wallah! It appeared. Then nothing for another week. I called again today to have them say I had a bill from last year sent to collections that needs to be paid before they will schedule delivery for the wheelchair. Today is 3/25/22. I did not know of this bill and now they bring it up. They had 25 days to have me settle it, which is not paid to them but the collections agency.
I asked how long once the bill is paid before I can schedule the much needed wheelchair. No Idea because it all depends on how quickly they get confirmation from agency and their system is updated. NO THANKS. it took you 25 days to send a fax/ receive one. I don't think they are capable of processing anything but ** and aggravation from the patient who is in dire need of a wheelchair. I called Florida Blue and they have had complaints as well. Do not use them unless you want a hell of a lot of aggravation.Ppoor service all around!!!

I called in to update our credit card information on file for hospital bed rental March 21, 2022 8:50 pm. This review is ONLY for the agent I spoke with and I'm hoping that the call was recorded for their Customer Service Quality Review. One would normally expect to be treated with courtesy, politeness, or some patience when calling Customer Service but the agent I spoke with seemed to have forgotten all these traits that are needed especially in her line of work and with the nature of their business being about people with needs and challenges medically. She raised her voice the first minute we were talking when I did not clearly understand her question about my credit card. And I had to end our conversation even though I still have orders and services to request because for the whole duration of our conversation she was really sounding unhappy like I was bothering her.

Absolutely terrible company to work for. They do not respect or appreciate their staff. The training is terrible. Not honest about pay, expectations, or really anything. They are very rude and unprofessional. They are also disrespectful and dishonest to their patients and referrals. Don’t waste your time or energy. Avoid this company!! I worked for them for about a year after they bought my old company and absolutely ruined a job and company I loved. Several of my coworkers quit or resigned as well.

Apria Healthcare has been responsible for my DME for several years and I have had many different issues with them as others have mentioned (mostly billing issues, rude customer service, long wait and hold times). The issue that put me over the top was a collections debt issued for a claim 4 years ago that was a mis-billed issue that I had previously had to deal with them on. This was an issue that was their fault and they had previously agreed to fix! Now I have to deal with the debt collections agency. I will no longer use Apria Healthcare.

After 22 years of use and resupply I was denied resupply until I completed a new sleep study and received a physician's order-I was dismayed.

Do not use them! My medical provider referred me to this company for a cpap machine. This has by far been one of my most frustrating and disappointing patient interaction that I have ever endured. I had to jump through so many hoops to get the machine, apparently a very common practice. To have them not guarantee the machine, to continue to send masks that didn't work to only get a huge bill from them after my deductible was met. I was told by my provider that they had no right to bill me. It wasn't a $50 bill. It was several hundred dollars. After an exorbitant amount of emails exchanged with them, I reached out to my provider who was able to get the issue resolved. It only took 11 months!

Very bad experience. Received CPap machine through this provider. After I received my device, I received 12 + calls from Apria, to set up my credit card payment (which had been completed at the onset). I returned the calls 8 times, numerous times, with long wait times before they finally straightened their records. It took a threat of leaving their service.
Later, I noticed an excessive bill and called again. They realized they had overcharged and adjusted the bill. 2 weeks ago (December 2021), I noticed another excessive bill on my credit card. Apria said the insurance refused (in fact, they did not. Apria's mistake). No proactive call to me to allow me to clear it with insurance company. I decided to return the equipment and go with a diff provider. They are making the return difficult, insisting that I be at home for the pick up to sign docs, requiring me to take the day off. They have called me 6 times since my request to cancel service, to set up a pick up date, which has already been determined. This is very frustrating. Apria must train their agents at the same school Frontier uses. Don't use this provider

My father had COPD and had leased oxygen equipment and tanks from Apria Healthcare. He passed in April of this year at 79, and my mother paid two final bills. The last because they claimed they were never paid. In October Apria Healthcare sent her a check in my father's name in the amount of $26.40, knowing he was deceased, because she had in fact overpaid. She called them to have them send a check in her name because she was unable to do anything with a check in his. They said the needed a copy of the death certificate emailed to PPMC@APRIA.COM, and said to reference the check #, state her relationship to the deceased and provide her mailing address. I did this for her because she is technologically illiterate.
After a couple weeks, when she never received the check, she called and got the run around. They claimed they never received the email. I had owned a small website development and hosting company for 18 years. I know that, when you send an email to an email address that does not exist, the mail server bounces the email back to you. This is how I know it was received. Whomever she talked to said that they didn't have to send her a check because the account was not in her name. She went to the local Apria Healthcare office and got the same treatment.
I filed a BBB complaint and their response was that she refused to send the copy of the death certificate, which is a lie. They received the email with the attached death certificate, they just want to keep $26.40 from the widow of a former customer. It's sick! IMO, people need to be think carefully about dealing with Apria Healthcare. They love to game play. While looking on the Internet for similar complaints, I found this from a law firm that details some of the biggest issues with Apria Healthcare, including billing: **. Consumer, Beware.

They were supposed to deliver an oxygen tank to the hospital for my grandmother. It was supposed to be there at or before 4 pm. She could not be discharged until it got there. I called at 4:30 pm. It's on its way. Oxygen did not arrive until 5:30. And they sent a shipment to my house which I told them could not be done until I got back from the hospital. So, I pulled up and the truck was blocking the drive. I had to leave my grandmother in the car while dealing with set up. Then I had to have her walk across the neighbor's yard and our drive so I could get her in house.

Was told by the Healthcare rep what our insurance would pay, what our part would be, payment plan, etc. None of what we were told has been accurate. Now we are being billed hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a machine I could have bought online for 1/3 of the price. Apria has billed my credit card for hundreds of dollars of “non allowed” charges and has never sent me an invoice or even an email. When I called and asked “why” I was told that when you sign up for autopay, they don’t send invoices. Apria has free reign to bill my credit card for whatever they want and not even inform me. I’ve struggled with customer service just trying to get them to unenroll me in autopay. It’s been a nightmare. Do not use them! You’re better off ordering your equipment directly from the manufacturer.

Wish I could give no stars!!! This is the worst organization I have worked on.

How do you charge someone a whole month for “possession of equipment” that I didn’t have the whole month? Not even half the month?

This company not only is only out to get money but their compassion level for their patients is awful if there even is one! My dad has stage 4 COPD and thought after 9 months his CPAP was his. When the guy came to get it he told my dad no it was on the list for pick up. My dad only had 28% lung function by the way but he gave it to them and called them and they said, "No sir. After 10 months it’s yours" which means September 7th it would of been his meaning yes the last payment was already made but since he called to have his big oxygen machine picked up before the 7th they were taking it! When the only reason we were returning the stuff was because my dad has just now been put on hospice and his hospice provides it now so instead of just letting him have it since the payment was already made they stiffed him on it and he won’t get any of the money back! And anybody on disability knows it’s not much to get by.
Second off the guy picking up didn’t have a mask on so my dad asked him to put one on and he told my dad they aren’t required to wear one!

It is confusing to explain but I will try. I have had home oxygen concentrator since Dec. Every month since then my statement said I owed $0!! According to EOBs then it was denied. I called Apria a couple times. I had to explain 3 times before the girl knew to investigate deeper. She was giving me a canned answer at first. She finally found out that they were waiting on a RX although they got one in Dec. On July statement still nothing so I asked my insurance to look into it. After a week my EOBs through June were corrected and no longer denied. Yesterday I got a new Apria statement. They charged me correctly for Jan and Feb but no charge for March April May June. Then they charged me full cost for July although my EOB for July said procedure denied.
I just want to get it caught up. I know I owe 185 per month from Jan to Oct when I go on medicare and when my coverage changes. I have discussed this with someone from my insurance who I know personally (but she cannot do my account because of it). She said Apria is often doing the billing wrong so it gets denied by insurance. Many many many times. She said now she understands why other ins. clients come to her with year of screwed up billing. I want to switch DME companies. ASAP but I'd feel better knowing I am nearly caught up. I can't imagine how many people pay not knowing better and are ripped off. BTW.
